Why didn't Joan leave an inheritance for her kids?

He's astute and extremely bright, but he wastes it
For sure and this is the most frustrating thing, if only he'd learn to be a little more generous and giving in his outlook and character. It is everyone else with the problem and he finds it difficult to be humble at times, especially with the intelligent posters that are on and above his own level. This is born out of his arrogance though and what "only" he believes to be true, when he is dead wrong. It is very limiting.
And ultimately fights with himself, which is weird. (And I'm not even referring to his sock puppets).
He has changed usernames, and the last one before this was
simplemindedsociety
and he sometimes frequents his old posts; but apart from that, he has always had the same single account. I think the sock account accusation is more of a deflect and counter-argue, when people are frustrated with another poster and not open to them, be they worthy or not. They don't mind if others think like them; but when other posters disagree and are in unison, they then play the troll or sock account card. Why would someone go to the trouble of doing this, unless they are absolute losers and I don't think IY is quite there yet?

Jim can be very insightful and extremely perceptive. But he makes the same very good six points over and over. Virtually everything he has to say revolves around the "stupid masses" and their homophobia and their hypocrisy and their narcicissm and their lack of self awareness. And he really hates it when somebody likes something, especially if it's another person. I can almost hear him thinking "Whats wrong with everybody? People weren't meant to be liked!"
And as far as I know he has never shown any signs of humor and warmth and he is also one of the most unforgiving characters out there. His root problem is that for some reason he can't allow himself to forgive himself. (Considering his fixation on homosexuality, I wouldn't be surprised if it were his own homosexuality that was the source of this terrible guilt.) And he resents other people who ARE happy. If they did things that are wrong or bad, then they should be miserable like him. And when he comes across people who aren't miserable, he finds it supremely unfair. But then when he finds somebody who IS unhappy, he swoops down from the opposite direction and exclaims "What do YOU have to be unhappy about? You don't know what REAL problems are!"
What he doesn't seem to grasp is that this is his life. He is terrified to move, so he doesn't. And, like Rascal and PrometheusTree64 have stated, he is wasting his life on fear.
He has the charm and the survival instincts of a possum. He is not a likeable person. -

The actress who played Christina was/is unlike able, I wonder if that was done on purpose? What was the real Christina like?
This movie is so over the top in its portrayal of Joan Crawford that I actually began to feel some sympathy for her. It's not good karma to speak ill of the dead, Joan could not defend herself from Christina's expose. -

I thought it was because of her and her brother's feistiness and tough character. I think she thought of them as very tough and felt they, like she, did not need anything monetarily to make it on their own. But this is just my opinion. I'm not at all saying she was right in not leaving them anything.
